I spent most of last week reading about 3 d printers on forum after forum, and watched more yourtube in a week than I had in a year. I finally ended up here yesterday and decided this is the printer I want.

I ordered the kit today.

I have a decent sketchup background, and a long mechanical fabrication background and really just want to teach myself a new package (either fusion or on cad, not sure which) and have a toy to learn the hobby for possible other uses in the future.

I read a great deal of this forum and this seems to be one of the best communities for printers I have found.

I was in between a zulzbot taz 6 and a Ultimaker3 when I found this place and completely changed course.

I found a post about one of you making build plates (at least I thought I found it) but now cant find it again. I was someone doing a plate something like comes on the taz 6. If anyone can point me to that, i would like to get that upgrade.

Anyway, I will post up about the kit when it gets in, but from Ohio to Reno, i suspect its going to be weekend after next before I build it.

That would be insta's post here....he's just about to finish up another order I think....if you want one, be sure to sign up. He only manufactures them a couple times a year when he gets enough orders.

I did not install the dual extruder, I decided to build it as it came first before I added that to assist in trouble shooting if required.

PS fan is by far the loudest thing, but I dont think the wife is going to make me take it to the garage.

Going to get the slicer software set up and try some new things.

Only comments I would make to improve the kit would be to send or make available on the web the instructions as the ones that come with it have small dark pictures. I asked them for a pdf and they emailed me one which helped. It still has very low res photos which if its on the web could be improved.

I was also missing a few parts such as tie wrap pads, (they only sent one) but I had some. I would also add a few more of the large tie wraps to help tie all the cables together at they enter the rambo, but other than those very small issues, it was a breeze.

Bed leveling took me two passes, but I suspect it was my fault it took two, i didnt read well when it said the highest corner and I adjusted with the screw instead of the software, so I think it make me do it twice.
